Kim Schuette's 1984 classic publication The Book of Adventure Games is much more than a collection of walkthroughs, hints, and elaborate maps. It is a thorough study of the early text-based days of the genre, and you can grab yourself a well-priced and decently preserved copy over at eBay.

The final home computer by Atari, the 32-bit Atari Falcon never stood a chance in an already MS-DOS dominated market, and even less so when its mother company abandoned it to focus on its Jaguar console. The Falcon is thus nowadays a highly sought after collectible, and a rare and powerful computer running at 16Mhz, sporting an impressive DSP chip, 18-bit graphics, a multitasking OS, and all sorts of other varied bells and whistles.

Intrigued? Good, for here's an even more intriguing Atari Falcon 030eBay auction. The computer on offer has been used for less than 10 hours, and comes with an assortment of manuals, cables and disks, the mouse, an external hard-drive, and the SPDIF SoundPool.

It's my favourite space strategy game of all time, and a vintage 4X offering by Microprose that simply hasn't aged a day. It also is a classic PC game you can bid on via this Master of Orion II: Battle at AntareseBay auction. The game comes in its original big box with the CD, the manual, and assorted leaflets. Everything seems to have been finely preserved.
